12 How you’ve fallen from heaven,
    morning star, son of dawn!
You are cut down to earth,
    helpless on your back!
13 You said to yourself, I will climb up to heaven;
    above God’s stars, I will raise my throne.

    on the heights of Zaphon.
14 I’ll go up to the cloud tops;
    I’ll be like the Most High!

14 I will ascend above the tops of the clouds;(H)
    I will make myself like the Most High.”(I)
